"Great book!"
This book is a wonderful personal or group study book. It really helps us focus on how we can better serve each other and grow closer as a spiritual family.

"Indispensable resource"
This is the best book that I have read detailing what relationships should look like in the church. Using examples from their own experiences and Christ, The Jacobsen brothers cleverly and thoroughly go through 22 verses in the Epistles that focus on the concept of "one anothering". The chapters are masterfully ordered to display the progression of relationship building. The first section starts with one's relationship with God. The next progression is the genesis of a truly authentic relationship. The authors follow this portion with a section called, 'Sharing the Journey'. As the title states, this portion of the book details relationships within an authentic community. The final chapters deal with what happens with true spiritually linked relationships deepen. If this was not enough, the end of each chapter lists discussion questions that really allow you to search your heart and challenge the authenticity of your relationship with God and others.

I have found the Jacobsen brothers to have true spiritual insight concerning what it means to walk the Christian journey in community with God and one another.

Currently, I am involved with a fellowship of young adult believers who wish to reach out to our surrounding community and friends. I am going to purchase a few more copies and use it as a mid week study tool. I would advise you to purchase this book, prayerfully read it and allow God to show you how your relationships with people can become deeper!

"Excellent Resource For Growing Christians"
Wonderful Book. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in taking a closer look at how they and others deal with real community among believers. The author encourages believers to greater depths of fellowship as a people characterized by "one-anothering." In this book Jacobson explores practical ways to encourage that community as well as takes a look at where we are now. This is an encouragement to read. The material is easy to follow for new or seasoned believers. I find myself referring back to the book in sermon preparation regularly. Pick it up!

"A practical book..."
This book is helpful for all the relationships in your life. It's relatively small, but there is a lot of information here. I recommend reading it slowly, don't rush through or skim it, letting the ideas within sink in. Think over and meditate on them and how you can apply them in your own life.

I'll definitely be reading this one again, down the track..
